After a brief scare that my Z was leaking a ton of oil I finally found the culprit. i keep a spare quart of oil in the glove box and the cap broke or I forgot to tighten it all the way. No my glovebox is covered with oil! I got the most of the oil up, but the little mat in the back is soaked. I keep scrubbing away at it to no aval. Anyone got any ideas on how to get all the oil up - maybe soak in detergent?

 

This happened to a friend. Depending on what type of mat it is, we used this non acidic Simple Green followed by a power wash with high pressure wand.

 

Thats the stuff. Simple Green Carpet Cleaner

try talc poweder to soak it up, then carpet cleaner to get the rest of the stain out

 

You can also try 3M Dry-cleaning fluid. It comes in a 1 gallon can. Works great on footprints etc...

 

Who puts oil in a glove box? Jeeze.....
